Now ponzu...this stuff is like the holy grail of soy sauce. I don't mind that its by Kikkoman, since I can't find any other varieties around the international grocery stores. Probably my new favorite cooking / dipping / mixing sauce, hands down. I was introduced to this stuff by Makoto-san, the human wikipedia of Japan. You can make cold buckwheat soba noodles, dip it in half ponzu, half water, and slurp it down. The taste lights up your senses quite pleasantly.
My dad, who doesn't like eating anything that's foreign to him, actually liked the taste. You can't ask for a better recommendation than that.
Heart: Barracuda (Live) 1977
Ann and Nancy Wilson of the group "Heart". Barracuda was released in 1977 on the album, Little Queen.
Lyrics:
So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
You smile like the sun - kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Wouldn't you, barracuda? Ohhh
Back over time we were all trying for free
You met the porpoise and me, uh huh
No right no wrong, selling a song
A name whisper game.
And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ooh, barracuda ohhhh yeah
"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep down save my head
You...I think that you got the blues too.
All that night and all the next, swam without looking back
Made out for western pools - silly, silly fools
The real thing don't do the trick, no
You better make up something quick
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ohhh, barra-barracuda yeah

This chicken dance is so kawaii (I still go to McDonalds, but not very often, I prefer Subway)!
Oh yeah, here's the profile picture of myself:
Okay, I've gotten a number of minor issues taken care of concerning the wonderful world of Vista learning. But would someone please help me with something that should be relatively simple?? Pretty please?
I have a 22 inch flat screen monitor. The optimum resolution, according to Dell, is 1680 x 1050. Yeah, right! Oh, it's beautiful! The text is so clear and the quality is great, but........it's made for teeny tiny people with teeny tiny eyes!! I would be blind in two weeks tops....not something I'm particularly looking forward to since I rather enjoy having sight.
I've checked around a lot of places, and it appears that people using Vista have two main resolutions: 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024. The latter one makes for small print, and also leaves about 2.5 inches of blank space on each side of the web page. What's the point of having a nice big monitor if it doesn't use it well? Lol. And the former leaves everything at a nice size (no eye strain), with about 1 inch remaining on each side of the web page. But the photos and the text are not SHARP and clear.
I have tried every resolution for a 22 inch monitor with 32-bit color, and the 1024 x 768 seems to be the best. But why isn't it sharp and clear? Boo hoo. The photos are a little on the grainy side, and the text is a little on the pale, fuzzy side.
What resolution do you use? And what other settings do you use for the colors, etc? I've been trying, but I just can't get my mind wrapped around it.
Thank you, guys. Sorry for bothering you so much. I know I'm a pain.
Show us something happy.

This would make me very happy. I've ridden horses many times, but I've never been in the water with them....let alone having the horse swimming beneath me. I would have to say that this definately qualifies as a happy photo for the VOX Hunt.
Most people who are ticklish happen to be very Artistic Persons.
Hey Voxers
test out my theory on friends and family and tell me your results......I like feedback just like Janet^-^

My friends have been telling me I shouldn't feel this way. But I do. And I can't help it. I like this guy A LOT, but I feel like I have to get good grades in order for him to like me back. I know this is wrong. I should be able to feel accepted by him no matter what if I truly liked this guy. So this whole thing - this whole GPA complaining I did two entries ago isn't just about the medical school. Trust me, if it was just that simple, I wouldn't have said anything at all. It's just the combination of all these things is what's really ticking me off. To top it off, my parents are pissed at me about all sorts of things, I lost my ID card the other day, my cellphone has to be fixed, my seasonal depression is getting to me - it's always here when summer comes, and I'm in a financial crisis right now. Also, because I'm in a financial crisis, I can't hang out with friends as much anymore so one of them think I don't care. That I have become a cold person. It's just all these problems plus many more that I have to worry about. So I apologize if my last rant entry sounded really childish. I'm just really stressed out right now.
I need a time out.
I need to chill.
I need help.
Thankfully, things will get better in time. I'll just have to be patient about this.
Ever watch the movie, '21'? It was very good, and I suggest everyone to give it a watch. There was a scene in the beginning where the main character, Bell Campbell, is going for an interview at Harvard Medical School. Campbell brings up how he really needs the Robinson Scholarship - a full ride at Harvard Med - because of his low income at home. Then the interviewer responds and says, "The person who's going to get the Robinson Scholarship is someone who can dazzle me, someone who can jump out of the papers. There are currently 75 other people who applied for this scholarship and only one person out of 75 will get this scholarship. All of them have the same excellent resume as you do. Last year, the winner of the Robinson Scholarship was a Pakistani with one leg." All of a sudden some silence ensues as Campbell musters up some courage and says, "Well...I have one..leg." And then the scene cuts to him sitting in an MIT classroom. I thought that was a hilarious scene but at the same time that makes me think, "Wow, is that what it really takes?" I never planned to go to Harvard Med. Ever. I mean, even if I did get accepted, it costs $300,000 - an amount that I can't even imagine paying. But it's still scary if you think about it. I mean, everyone wants to have a excellent education - but most people can't have it because of money.
And there was this other scene where Campbell's statistics professor was commenting on how he was an excellent student, that he is able to throw all his emotions away and be able to critically and logically think clearly. It is for this reason that he is able to do so good in school - and particularly in math. I wonder to myself, maybe I'm too emotional? I let myself down too easily and sometimes I over think things too much. I worry too much even though the big picture might not even seem that bad. And with this, I wonder, how can I help myself in becoming a more defined and logical person? How do I stop myself from thinking so negatively? I think I need to answer these questions and get some insight.
